Just to let everyone know that I am going to start a new game on Sunday evening, THE ALBUM PREDICTA!! Similar to Ben's Top 10 Singles Prediction Game (I have checked with him and he's given me the go-ahead). It also incorporates a bit of Spiidey's Singles Prediction as well. The game will be in 3 parts, maximum score will be 100 points Part 1 Each week, before the midweeks are out you have to predict the Top 10 Albums, scoring will be the same as it is for Ben's game, the closest to the actual chart receives 40 points etc. Part 2 I will also put up 5 albums for you to predict where they will chart, again, same scoring as Spiidey uses, 10 points for exact, 9 for 1 away etc. making a max of 50 points Part 3 3 prediction questions which will vary slightly each week, like Ben's game the questions will be worth different amounts, the hardest 5 points, then 3, then 2 points making a total of 10 points for the round! Overall possible score - 100 points I will be doing this for 5 weeks as a trial run, hope it takes off and is a success, if not then it will be cancelled.

01. Wanted - Gold Forever 02. Nicole Scherzinger - Don't Hold Your Breath 03. Adele - Someone Like You 04. Jessie J ft. B.o.B - Price Tag 05. Rihanna - S&M 06. Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow 07. Lady Gaga - Born This Way 08. Parade - Louder 09. Dr Dre ft. Skylar Grey - I Need A Doctor 10. Adele - Rolling In The Deep Bonus questions: 1. (for 5 pts) Which song will be # 40 next week? (Artist name and song title needed!) - Nicki Minaj ft. Drake - Moment 4 Life 2. (for 3 pts) How many new/re/chart entries will be altogether in the top 40 next week? - 7 3. (for 2 pts) Which album will be higher next week: Bruno Mars - Doo Wops & Hooligans or Rihanna - Loud? - Rihanna - Loud

Don't really like any of them and don't know the others (so can't have been that good!) not a good year for number 1's so I guess my list is a least hated list! 15pts. D-Ream - Things Can Only Get Better 12pts. Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy 10pts. Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around 8pts. Mariah Carey - Without You 6pts. East 17 - Stay Another Day 5pts. Pato Banton - Baby Come Back 4pts. Manchester United - Come On You Reds 3pts. Take That - Everything Changes 2pts. Prince - The Most Beautiful Girl In The World 1pt. Whigfield - Saturday Night -2pts. Chaka Demus & Pliers - Twist & Shout

Was better before they made Rufus a regular! Why did they do that, 2 regulars on 1 team, only 1 on the other?? Makes no sense!

I think i'm in the minority here, but I prefer a slower moving chart, ok, the top 6 all non-movers is a bit much, but I'd much prefer to see 6 new entries in a top 40 with only 1 or 2 making the top 20, much like it was up to 1994 or so. The late 90's to when downloads were incorporated to the the chart was a very dark time for the chart for me, nearly a new entry at no.1 every week, sometimes the majority of the top 10 new hits, then 3 weeks later they'd be out of the top 40 completely! At least now you can miss a couple of weeks (say if you went away for a holiday) and come back, the majority of the songs you recognised would still be around.

Hmm, going down a bit, not surprising really, damn internet playing up!!

Cos he wants to spare our ears from another Glee 'song' (if you can call their wailing singing!)

Skipping songs again, thought it was too good to be true, rather than this snore fest interview with whoever it is, why not play Adele?

Mid 1995 was when it started to decline, by early 1996 it was new entries at the top constantly

Over the last year or so, Glee have released some classic songs, some mash ups, some straight covers. Either way do you think they ruin the originals or give them a refreshing sound?? Also, what is your least favourite song that Glee have covered? I'm going with ruin - and the worst 'Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror'

+7. Willow - Whip My Hair +5. Ke$ha - We R Who We R +3. Glee Cast - River Deep Mountain High +2. Taio Cruz - Higher +1. Matt Cardle - When We Collide -1. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Amazing)

Well there's always Cher Lloyd!! LOL!

Alternative could be put as another genre A sub-division of Rock is soft rock If you want an in-depth list of music genres, try this link (although I wouldn't suggest you use them all, you'll see what I mean!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_music_genres

not a brilliant week for me, didn't go up overall, but didn't go down either. 19 isn't the best position, but room to improve!!
